Greatly Shocked, How Did You Know I Have Two Martial Souls?

To be honest, to his ears, Bibi Dong's words sounded more or less like empty promises.

If this had been his previous life, anyway.

But as luck would have it, this was the world of Douluo, and these words had come from Bibi Dong at this particular point in time. Whether she had said them just so she could have more time to play or not, they were actually quite believable.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Sister Dong'er," Yu Tianqing said. But then his tone shifted. "However, as for making cultivation faster and easier, I really don't have a way."

"You know it too, Sister Dong'er. Pies don't fall from the sky. Your teacher is the Pope, and even he can't make things easier for you. Are you really pinning your hopes on a child like me?"

"Besides, last time we met, your second soul ring was already going to be a thousand-year one. In my impression, on Douluo Continent, there hasn't been a single soul master whose second soul ring could absorb a thousand-year ring. You've already set a record."

"So, Sister Dong'er, you're already amazing. If you could just be a little more diligent, that would be even better."

"I'm guessing you should have innate full soul power, right? Then the soul power you accumulate from cultivating for a day is at least equal to half a month for me."

Bibi Dong was a little curious. "You can actually guess that I have innate full soul power?"

Yu Changge said, "You're the Pope's disciple. Your talent definitely wouldn't be low. It's easy enough to guess."

"And..." Yu Changge said in a low voice, "I'm guessing you're probably not just as simple as having innate full soul power."

"I suspect that you very likely have two martial souls."

This time, Bibi Dong was truly shocked. Her little hand could not help grabbing onto Yu Changge.

And because of that, Yu Changge stopped walking.

"Wow, how did you guess that? I never told you, and even in Pope Palace, not many people know I have two martial souls."

Yu Changge laughed inwardly. This time, he had given her a little shock right to the face.

The best way to make a woman fall for him was to make her feel an intense curiosity about him.

Yu Changge explained, "There are two reasons. First, although people with innate full soul power are rare on the continent, they aren't nonexistent."

"Spirit Hall has the largest number of soul masters on the entire continent. No matter how few people with innate full soul power there are, after so many years, there would still be a few. But His Holiness the Pope just had to take you as his disciple. Why?"

"The second point is because your second soul ring is a thousand-year soul ring."

"As far as I know, His Holiness the Pope and the others have the Six-Winged Angel as their martial soul. It's a god-level martial soul, but even for them, their second soul rings are still hundred-year ones."

"Could the resources they had from childhood really be less than yours?"

"Since that's the case, then why is it that only you, with your second soul ring, can withstand the thousand-year level?"

"Then there's only one possibility. That is, you have two martial souls, and both of these martial souls are beast martial souls. They gave you an extra share of attributes compared to those geniuses. Then, with Spirit Hall pouring resources into you, your second soul ring was able to withstand the thousand-year level."

Bibi Dong's eyes shone brightly, and Yu Changge's figure was reflected in them.

"Were all of these results you got from studying theory?"

Yu Changge nodded. "Yes. However, this was only my guess, after all. I didn't have evidence to support it. But from the looks of it now, I should have been right."

Looking at Bibi Dong like this, Yu Changge knew he had shown off in exactly the right way.

Bibi Dong quickly hummed twice. "Mm-hmm, you were right. I used to always think theory was useless, but after hearing you say all this today, my thoughts have changed a little."

"But what's strange is that there are plenty of scholars in Spirit Hall who are proficient in theory too. How come none of them saw it? Looks like you're still a bit more amazing."

"However, you have to keep this matter secret for me. The fact that I have two martial souls isn't known by many people even in Spirit Hall."

"Teacher is afraid that if some outside forces with ulterior motives learn of my talent, I'll be in danger."

Yu Changge smiled. "Then let this be our little secret. You also have to keep my secret for me. About my cultivation speed—I can't let you tell anyone else. I still don't want other people to know for now."

Bibi Dong was puzzled. "Why? Let me tell you, your current treatment already counts as the treatment of a core disciple in Spirit Hall. Even if you have Teacher's warrant on you, it might still make others dissatisfied."

"Spirit Hall has always paid attention to one thing: whoever is stronger gets better treatment. But the talent you've shown is only innate half-level. Some people will probably gossip. Aren't you afraid others will come looking for trouble with you?"

"If you tell people your current level, others might not be convinced in their hearts, but there's a high chance they'll hold it in."

Yu Changge said, "I don't care that much about other people's opinions. After all, if you care too much about what others think, life becomes very tiring. It wears you down inside. I was already used to those voices back in my clan."

"And right now, I still haven't thoroughly researched Xiao Huang's advancement path. If I say it now, and it all falls short later, that will only bring even greater mockery. There's no need."

"As long as my family doesn't look down on me, I'm already very satisfied."

As he spoke, Yu Changge looked at Bibi Dong, his tone somewhat teasing. "Besides, Sister Dong'er, you're the one who made me call you big sister. If there's gossip, would you, as my big sister, really be unwilling to stand up for me?"

"Of course not!" Bibi Dong immediately said. "I'll definitely stand up for you. When the time comes, you just focus on cultivating and studying theory."

"However, I also have one small request. Hehe," Bibi Dong said with a smile.

"What request?"

Bibi Dong continued, "It's just that Teacher is sometimes very busy—busy cultivating, busy handling affairs. Sometimes he might not have time to take care of me."

"If I run into any difficulties in cultivation, can I come find you? Or to put it another way, I also want to learn theory from you."

Yu Changge was slightly stunned. "Of course you can. But Sister Dong'er, you really are bold. If you run into problems in cultivation, even if you can't find your teacher, you should still be able to find someone else, right? Aren't you afraid I'll lead you astray?"

"And theory too—Spirit Hall has such a large Library Pavilion, yet you're coming to me?"

Bibi Dong said, "I don't care. The books in the Library Pavilion make me want to sleep just looking at them. They're too boring. I feel like listening to you would probably be more interesting, just like earlier."

"I won't disturb your studies. When I have time, I'll just watch you from the side."

In truth, most of these were just Bibi Dong's excuses—excuses to get closer to Yu Changge, that was all.

Mainly, because of her status within Spirit Hall, she really did not have any friends.

Everyone else only saw her as Qian Xunji's disciple, and they either did not dare speak much with her, or approached her with motives of their own. It was never very pure.

But when she talked with Yu Changge, she felt very comfortable. And the theory Yu Changge had just used to discover her twin martial soul talent had also impressed and drawn her in.

At this moment, Qian Xunji had not realized in the slightest that his Dong'er was seemingly being stolen from right under his nose...
